Heroes and Villains has just been released over at Paper Tiger. The book is a collection of portraits and the subject list is a whos who of the contemporary art scene. Audrey Kawasaki, David Choe, Saber, Gary Baseman, Kozyndan, Shepard Fairey, and Mark Ryden to name a few. Photographs taken by Tatiana Wills and Roman Cho. Apparently this is only Volume 1…
Some startlingly poetic photography from Chicago-based, Jason Lazarus. He was a photography instructor at Columbia College and I believe he still teaches/lectures at various places. The cool thing about his site is that along side his work he includes a teaching section.
Land of the Free. A great series of portraits by Steve Schofield. I never really got into Star Wars but I did secretly watch Star Trek: The Next Generation quite a bit (You did too, YOU LIAR!). These days I’m not into Sci-Fi all that much, but I do love finding photography and other documentation of people that are totally emersed in very specific sub-cultures!
“Particles, waves, and the weight of our bodies.” Came across some great photography by Cole Rise. This first one looks like a good skate spot.
I have finally started a Facebook Group! I originally started a Fan Page but Mark Zuckerman (aka the world’s youngest billionaire) really didn’t make the Fan Pages easy to promote so the Group will replace the old Fan Page. If you’re looking for a quick way to promote your own work or share interesting links, join the group and post to your heart’s content.
I have never met William Lamson but I feel like we would really get along. He takes pictures and makes wonderful little videos, and really seems to enjoy what he does. He has had solo exhibitions all over the world and currently resides in NY. What I like about his work is that there is as much humor to it as there is beauty. Some of them made me laugh and others were surreal to the point they became almost meditative. William was kind enough to upload a few of them to youtube just so I could post about them!
This first video is called Tundra. There is something really beautiful about this piece. It’s so quiet and simple. It’s like haiku poetry for your eyes.
Elizabeth Weinberg. NYC photographer. Great portraits of musicians and lifestyle shots.
